Pictured above is the space shuttle Endeavor, making its final voyage to the International Space Station. This is the second to last shuttle launch ever, and represents the end of a significant era of space exploration. The remarkable force the shuttle creates as it launches off the ground is made clear in this photo, showing just how much energy is required to escape our Earth's atmosphere. The shuttle burns through entire swimming pools of fuel in seconds, and its liftoff can be seen from across the state. The Endeavor, and other space shuttles of its kind, are truly a great feat of human engineering.
